Smith and Hooper Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2000

Wrattonbully, Limestone Coast, South Australia, AustraliaSmith & Hooper wines are sourced entirely from two Wrattonbully estate vineyards - adjacent vineyard blocks previously owned by the Smith and Hooper families. Look for a huge sappy cassis jam nose spiked with leather, earthy cranberry fruit and a touch of eucalyptus. Ripe and very supple palate with big coffee, cassis, black olive, smoky tobacco flavours and some vanilla. Good fruit but somewhat acidic on the finish.Tasted: 13 July 2003Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
